BLM White Mountains National Recreation Area Reports

Fact sheet supports why BLM should continue to reject Mineral Leasing in the White Mountains National Recreation Area because hardrock mining (including placer and suction dredging operations) is incompatible with public outdoor recreation benefits and conservation values it was set aside for and enjoyed today.

Fact sheet lists past impacts and potential mining effects BLM described in its 2013 Mining Supplement for the White Mountains NRA. It describes risks to headwater, tributaries to Beaver Creek, Fisheries, Fish and Wildlife, Subsistence, and general impacts of past mining in Beaver and Birch Creeks.
